Dear AllNow 14 days have passed since we left Vallensbæk. We got Susanne and her two sons on in the morning, and Mette came home from a party the same morning. We had a nice trip to Klintholm. The youngsters were a bit seasick. The boys got off the next morning, and we continued to Gedser in a fresh side/headwind. As we were going towards Gedser, the engine would not take in water. However, sailing on the other tack helped. Ouch. We entered the harbour by the engine. The next day, another … [Continue reading... CLICK HERE ] about 14-day update from RR – 19 Juli 2022

Life raft testing
Af Jeppe
26 days before we cast off, we phase out and test our old SeaGo life raft with the help of the skipper on Njord, lying next to us. We have purchased a similar new 6 person offshore life raft from SeaSafe. See how such a raft unfolds in the video. Our experience: Now, we have learned a little about how such a small life raft works. The life raft is inflated slowly, and when the ribbons around the raft burst, the white covers fall to the sides. One cover, however, hangs in the fastening … [Continue reading... CLICK HERE ] about Life raft testing

Cast off the lines and keep the plan
Af Jeppe
The decision is made - we cast off on Sunday 3 July 2022. We have revised the cruises for the first half-year, and we are ready for the dream. Check the cruises and see if there are vacant crew positions for a period that suits you. We have a plan, as Egon Olsen would say. Namely, sail the earth around within three years and return with the ship. We have earned two Dayton ashore or at anchorage when we have sail a day, so it is a busy schedule, but it also contains many quiet days of … [Continue reading...

Summer sailing in Denmark
Af Jeppe
In the spring of 2020, we were ready to sail towards the Caribbean, but we decided to postpone the long trip until 2022 in anticipation of the world being able to cope with Covid19. Instead, we had a very non stressful and lovely family summer holiday in Denmark. We had the trio (Mette's girlfriends) with us for the first 4 days and later the Jonsson League joined us on board in turn. The summer holidays with family is always cozy and as you can see in the video below we really enjoyed it. … [Continue reading... CLICK HERE ] about Summer sailing in Denmark

The Jonsson League in Scotland
Yes, it sounds like the title of the Olsen Gang movie series - see Wikipedia. The Jonsson League is the Swedish counterpart of the Olsen Gang. There are also some similarities between today's Jonsson League and the fictional Olsen Gang. We have gang leader Egon, who throughout the winter makes plans, buys spare parts and new gadgets. When winter is over, the plan is presented to the crew Keld and Benny. Now, everything is timed and organized, fixed and finished. This year, the plan was a summer … [Continue reading...

A Wishboard of great influence
Af Jeppe
The Christmas present was a wishboard My dear sister Tine had a wish-board on her fridge and my wife Kirsten was inspired to give me one for christmas in 2015. I thought about my dreams and wishes for some days. As you can imagine, since my great passion is for sailing and keeping our sailboat fit, my thoughts circled intensly arround blue water ocean cruising and long distance sailing. What sailing yacht is suitable to bring us safely across oceans. The internet was therefore scrutinised … [Continue reading... CLICK HERE ] about A Wishboard of great influence
